Trump makes millions off of mugshot
Arutz Sheva ^ | 26/8/23

Former US President Donald Trump has turned his mugshot into a particularly lucrative business.

Less than two hours after he left the Fulton County Jail in Georgia, where the now-famous photo was taken, his campaign's fundraising committee began to sell memorabilia bearing the mugshot alongside the caption, "Never surrender," that the former president wrote in his X account before and after he turned himself in.

Among other things, the campaign offers T-shirts with the mugshot and inscription, cups, stickers, portable beverage coolers, plates and more. The prices of souvenirs range from 12 dollars for a sticker to 36 dollars for shirts.

According to estimates, the sale of the memorabilia will bring in millions of dollars to the Trump campaign that will help him during the 2024 presidential race. The CNN network reported that even before the arrest, Trump met with his aides and the heads of his campaign regarding the facial expression that Trump would make during the photo, and it was decided that he would use a " defiant face" against the indictment filed against him.

Trump was released on a personal bond of $200,000.

Trump's son, Donald Jr., told reporters after the Republican presidential candidates' debate in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Wednesday about his father's arrest photo that, "This is going to be the most iconic photo in the history of American politics, if not maybe the entire history of the United States."

When asked by the British Guardian journalist if his father was afraid of going to prison, Donald Jr. replied that, "We've gotten so used to it, we don't even think about it. We're joking because we understand exactly what's going on, and hopefully the American people will also wake up to why...

Actually, since Vivek has been the most outspoken in his defense, Vivek has gained much; DeSantis ‘weasled out.”

On your knees to show your subservience. Which you are more than willing to give to your elite, billionaire, WEF member.

Hey, did you hear, Trump claims he won the recent golf tournament at his Bedminister club today. Wow, he’s so amazing, right? Wonder if Kim Yung Un might be better, though, since he claims to hit a hole in one every time he plays.

I'm not a pervert at all. This guy, on the other hand, seems rather proud of it, does he not?

The judge refused bail for Harrison Ford. Apparently, he’s the worst criminal than everybody else because he’s black.

Yes, apparently he is. Unfortunately. But, he's made his choice. And you stand with him, not me.

Every single corporate media site has an article bemoaning the fact that Trump and his supporters were not humiliated by the Fulton County indictment and mugshot. They have been waited for this for so long and they expected a gnashing of teeth and a admittance of defeat-—at long last.

Instead, Trump is gaining support (especially among the black community) and the mugshot merchandise is selling like hotcakes. Just think—coffee mug(shots)! How dare they!

Also, if you point out that now Trump gets to present evidence of ballot fraud as a part of his defense, the left goes crazy!

They are not happy! They expected to be happy and they are not.

They will never be happy because their happiness is built on harming others.
